How do I get the Coinbase CSV upload to work? Coinbase is a partner of TurboTax, but the upload is not working.

Here's an article that will show you how to upload the file from Coinbase.

Please see below.

2. Select 2020 next to Gain/Loss Calculator

This step is impossible. Coinbase doesn't have the Gain/Loss Calculator any more. The only .csv file I can get from Coinbase has this header on the 8th line:

 

Timestamp,Transaction Type,Asset,Quantity Transacted,USD Spot Price at Transaction,USD Subtotal,USD Total (inclusive of fees),USD Fees,Notes

 

The only reason I was willing to pay for your service is because you claimed it "easily handles cryptocurrency gains and losses" on Coinbase's website. I am unable to file my taxes until this issue is resolved.

If you are experiencing issues downloading Coinbase please contact Coinbase directly.

I have contacted Coinbase, I was told they no longer have their Gains/Losses calculator and to use their integration with CoinTracker instead. (Which is absurd, I refuse to pay $200 for that service just so I can reformat a .csv file to tell the IRS I made $20).

 

These standard copy+paste responses aren't cutting it. Please understand, Coinbase changed their website and removed features. Apparently without communicating that to TurboTax in advance.

well, stay on top of the changes. what's up with the excuses like a 12 y/o kid?

 

Reported to bbb and ftc. Everyone do the same! Intuit has been abusing it's monopolistic power for way too long. The gov already knows how much we owe, but Intuit keeps on lobbying to keep filing tax complicated and difficult so it can stay in business and make billions from our time and suffering. how many lifetimes do we collectively waste every year just from typing W-2s into turbotax? and now we can't even report bitcoin transactions without stabbing ourselves in the left eye. We have no choice to but to file with Intuit or hr block and they know it. Watch hasan minhaj's episode "why doing taxes is so hard". Intuit provides 0 value to the society and should cease to exist. [r]
